Re: GNU Parallel Bug Reports unexpected failure due to ssh line length exceeded error

[Ole Tange]

The problem is that if the maximal command line length is 128 KB
(which it is on a normal GNU/Linux installation), you can only fit a
bit over 7000 of those numbers on the command line.

But GNU Parallel ought to give a reasonable error message instead of
just spiraling into a loop of death.

Work around: -N7000
